Chelsea Granger's Art Creates Community

Following the deaths of several people close to her, Chelsea Granger began openly engaging with her online community about her grief and mental health. Her love of zines and postal mail led her to compile a monthly subscription newsletter full of resources for the grieving. Sarah speaks with Chelsea about how her grief triggered suicidal depression, the manic episodes she experienced, and the artwork she creates.

Chelsea Granger is an artist and illustrator based in Branford, Connecticut.
